With the increasing demands for stable, reliable and un-interrupted power supply, utilities all over the country are adopting Smart Grid technologies. However, the technology is just one piece of the puzzle. Success of Smart Grid squarely depends on smart and knowledgeable engineers who operate the new systems. India Smart Grid Forum (ISGF) has developed a unique and first-of-a-kind course on Smart Grids. At a broad level the objective is to raise interest and awareness about the inevitable advancement of today's grids towards Smart Grids. This course not only covers the foundations of the Smart Grids but also adds a practical flavor by going into the details of core challenges that need to be addressed on various dimensions of it.

The course will be self-contained with presentations and accompanying detailed lecture notes. This initiative was taken up by ISGF upon multiple requests from various utility heads, concerned about knowledge gap among the workforce in a fast changing Smart Grid industry.
